Traditional plastic bags are composed of materials which take millions of years to degrade. These bags are causing massive damage to the environment, the effects of which future generations will suffer through. The best way to prevent further damage is by using reusable bags such as calico or the "green bags" sold in many stores and of course ultimately by saying NO TO PLASTIC BAGS.
